Cain began his story with the first attack, telling him that he had prevented the second one from happening, and that the one who was leading it was the priest Oliver, whom he had met at the encampment.

'Oliver or ....... He was Cardinal Bangla's (that guy) protégé, wasn't he ......?

　Cain had also heard about Priest Oliver and his talk with the dark side, and he knew that the mastermind was Cardinal Bangla, but there was nothing he could do about the election, as it depended on the number of votes cast.

'Will he not be disqualified or something because of this?
'No, it would be like clipping the tail of a goose. If they say it's something you don't know about, or something you did on your own, that's up to you, and even then the factions are the most numerous, so it won't change.

　Cardinal Denter shook his head in resignation at Cain's question.

'I would also be happy to have Cardinal Denter as the new Pope, if possible. It would be a pleasure to talk with Cardinal Denter.
'I'm honoured to hear you say that, but I can't say that's enough ....... I've never been a fan of faction building, so I can't blame you.

　Hinata also wanted Cardinal Denter to be the new pope, but he still seemed to have given up due to his own disadvantage in numbers.
　But Cain had something to tell them.

'Cardinal Denter. There is something I must tell you.
Mr. Cain: "Dear Mr. Cain: ......

　Cardinal Denter's expression tightened as Cain's expression tightened as well. Sensing the mood, both Hinata and Bishop Harnam spoke up.

''These are words from Lord Lime, the God of Life. You will be the ---- new Pope. And

　Cardinal Denter shuddered at Cain's words and suddenly stood up from the sofa and bowed his head on his knees in front of Cain.

'This Denter, I thankfully accept the oracle from Master Lime.

　Cain nodded. But there were a number of obstacles to overcome in order to make Cardinal Denter the new Pope. No matter how much Cain was an apostle of God, in the end it would come down to the number of votes cast.

'But what will he do? Even though my brother is a cardinal, there are not many factions. The biggest obstacle will be Cardinal Bangla.
I'll ask him about that directly at ............
"Master Cain, are you in that place again ......?

　Cain answered Bishop Harnam's question with perfection. And Hinata had gone with him to the gods' room before.
　Maybe if we prayed together we could go to the room of the gods together.

Maybe Hinata could go with me. Will you pray with me?
Yes, of course.

　Hinata nodded with a big smile on her face.

'Tomorrow I have a time of prayer. If you could pray with me then.

　Basically, prayers to the gods are often performed in the morning. In the afternoon, the reason for this is to pray for visitors and cook out the food.

'I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

　It was past the scheduled time, so Cain and the others left Hinata's room.
　Bishop Harnam and Cain went to their own rooms, but for some reason Cardinal Denter followed behind them.

''-- Brother, are you bored?''

　Cardinal Denter chuckled and nodded at Bishop Harnum's words. As if it couldn't be helped, Bishop Harnum invited them into the guest room that had been prepared for them.
　For some reason, Bishop Harnum and Cardinal Denter sat next to each other on the sofa, so Cain sat down face to face.

'Do you have any plans to speak to or unite with those from your faction?
There's no way I can do all that work.

　Cain had heard from the gods that he was a man of character, but he was a little concerned about whether such a person would be safe as Pope.
　But from what I've heard, the other cardinals are all ridiculous people.
　I couldn't help but think that if this was the case, it would be better for Bishop Harnam to be the pope.

'Master Cain, my brother is like this. It is true that he is said to be a man of character, but he is a little different: ......
Jesus, Harnum. You're treating people like they're freaks!
Because it is. When you find an orphan, you pick them up one after another. I spend most of my money on donations and don't have any to spend on myself. Even if you are a cardinal, it is normal for you to have a little bit of property even if you can live in the main palace. How many times have you borrowed money from me?
'That's enough. You've been saving up for nothing!
"I volunteered for the Kingdom of Esfort because I didn't want to lend it to you!

　Cain had heard the two brothers quarrel, but he felt that he understood Cardinal Denter's character.
　He was certainly not a bad person, and he was certainly a man of character, taking in orphans. But more than that, I feel like my life is in shambles. It was Cain who couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

　Their bickering continued for less than an hour, but Cardinal Denter left the room with a refreshed expression on his face.
　The remaining Bishop Harnam's expression was conversely exhausted.

'Do you think it's right for a brother like that ...... to be Pope?

　At Bishop Harnam's words, Cain turned his face away without replying.
